How does the year 1948 fit in to this assessment?
The invasion of the independent sovereign state of Israel created by a Resolution of The United Nations which includes countries that are pro-Arab like Russia, France and China by FIVE Arab countries + Palestinian forces (6 ganging up on 1 Wow!!) forcing Israel to take up arms to defend its own sovereign country.
Again Arab + Palestine drawing first blood. Seventy-five years later, nothing has changed. Incredible!!
